Iron Baby. Yeah, I'd watch that movie. :)

Neatorama has a very interesting article about Taps. The song, not the movie or the shoe.

I think I've mentioned that Charlie's vocabulary is exploding. I've been keeping a list, and the last time I checked, there were over forty words.
She's also doing well at identifying things, though she currently seems think that her ears are both ears and cheeks. No idea why. And now, when she's asked where her cheeks are, she says "Sister!". Ask where her ears are and she points to Jeff and says "Da!". I'm beginning to think the kid is messing with me. ;)

*This* is wild. An international team of researchers shuttered themselves inside a virtual spacecraft in Russia Thursday to begin a 520-day simulation of a manned mission to Mars.
The six-man team isn't scheduled to exit their self-contained environment, which includes a mock up of the Red Planet's surface, until November, 2011.
During their mission, the crewmembers will 'fly to Mars' during the first 250 days, land and explore terrain for a month, and then embark on a 230 day return flight.
Their enclosure is equipped with enough food, water, and other supplies to last through the duration of the period. It's also armed with video games, books, and other materials designed to stave off boredom.

Aw. Rue McClannahan died. I really liked her. If you get a chance, read her autobiography. It's quite fun. :)

Cleolinda has a thought that blows my mind about how we look and how we see ourselves.
